I wish more musicians had joined Pearl Jam back in the day, but instead they were left to stand up for fans alone. And now Ticketmaster has only gotten bigger/worse since. 😩

I think the issue here is that you no longer can have “balanced” political discussion when one side cannot help but regurgitate conspiracy theories, disinformation, and just 100% proven false statements in bad faith. The minute you platform these people any meaningful “debate” evaporates and you’re left with discussion not based on anything in reality. And trying to only works to drag the Overton Window to the right.

In that video they already had guns out and pointed at him. A group of unmarked “cops” shouldn’t be allowed to draw weapons and surround your car on a seatbelt violation. The second they all showed up with weapons drawn I would consider his shot self defense.

They shouldn’t even be approaching the car until a uniformed officer is on scene to vouch that these aren’t just some Proud Boys (or any similar group of wanna be paramilitary out LARPing) playing cops.

It says right in the article it was with the help of an immigrants rights group. They were illegally pushed onto a plane and flown to Martha’s Vineyard without anyone knowing they were coming. Desantis and his henchmen broke the law, and this judge agrees and has allowed them to bring a lawsuit against them.

Also, people on US soil are to be afforded the rights of the constitution.

What constitutional rights do undocumented immigrants have?

It is also not in their job description to disperse “justice”, or do anything but apprehend suspects and then allow the Justice System we have in place to deal with that. The second they step outside of that description they should be treated like any other citizen who took vigilante justice into their own hands, being charged and tried as such.

You can only have “both sides” to things that are based in reality, not bad faith. Hiring her to “balance” things was an impossibility, since she peddles in bad faith and conspiracy theories.

AOC has been calling for a cease fire and more aid since last year. She might not have used the word genocide until now, but it’s not like she has been cool with things up till now either.

As someone of color, I wonder if she would agree with the KKK discriminating against her, as they also consider themselves “Christians” spreading hate against people over things they do not control.

So by doing this the way she has set it up, she can now allow Trump’s lawyers to present this amazingly poor case that the espionage act is too vague. If she then grants that motion to toss the charge, Jack Smith cannot appeal it, nor can Trump be charged with it again because of Double Jeopardy.

Our only hope is that Jack Smith is right now working on his case to force her recusal from the case, that he’ll need to make to the 11th circuit.

EDIT - This all requires a jury sworn in - forgot that part.

So this isn’t about actual gamers, this about bad actors looking for chuds to recruit through games, which is not a new concept. It used to be chat rooms, and then forums, then social media, now games (as many have social features).

I mean the US military, among others, have been using gaming to recruit people already.

Having a court appointed auditor also makes it difficult for him to use laundered money (or otherwise illegal sources). He has already claimed the auditor has cost him “millions”, which isn’t a thing if you’re operating “beautifully” and above board all legal like.

The insurrection bit isn’t even up for debate, he has been found to be an insurrectionist. It is only if we are going to follow what the constitution plainly spells out, or find that Presidents are above the law and start the reign of Kings of The Former United States of America.

The US has child labor (several “red” states that have pushed for younger work ages), and one party is actively working on the King part.

I’m sure Canonical’s neverending death march towards Snap, along with the OS running outdated packages, is why Valve no longer uses Ubuntu for SteamOS development. The greatest April Fools was Ubuntu dropping Snaps because so many people were saying how they could go back to using Ubuntu again…then they noticed it was a joke and the sadness set in.

Measles is nothing to mess around with. A fine is a good deterant for some things, but something like this deserves your license to practice any kind of medicine in NY pulled permanently, as well as jail time.

What always blows my mind the most is how these people see no issue with filing for bankruptcy (sometimes multiple times), but are against “handouts” like social security and unemployment that people pay into and are earned benefits. The same people that grumbled about “nobody wants to work”, but then stole thousands of dollars in COVID relief money they had no right to.

Cool, so the place that mass shootings in the US began, and coined its own phrase, now must allow armed nut jobs inside. What could go wrong!?

Always amusing that people protest this stuff based on some made up fear of their “soul”, that can only be “saved” by preaching HATE for others different than you, instead of inclusion like the Temple. Hopefully these kids see the protesters for what they are and go on to have a more positive impact on society instead of trying to bring us all backwards.

Edit - Holy who taught me how to spell Batman!?

So basically a “you can’t sue or I’m rubber and your glue” bill to go with the “don’t say gay bill”. Imagine needing to put this much time into bills like this because you can’t stop your hate from getting you in trouble and you would rather attack marginalized groups than do any actual governing.

It sounds the the same way all of them lead, because leading isn’t what they want to do. They want to rule, NOT lead.

It will be interesting to see if she follows through on her “I’m not going to step aside” talk. Also funny how the one thing they can all rally around is not respecting a vote, unless they win it.

The idea is of course to bring attention to the fact that the US is funding Israel and giving them weapons. We also have some pull in the world and if we wanted to make it a thing, we could no doubt get all support for them in the area put on hold until they turned their shit around and stopped shooting/bombing anyone not in an IDF uniform.

Things like this seem like a big neon arrow blinking over their head saying “investigate me!”, yet nobody ever does. Or we wait till so many years have gone by that “it’s water under the bridge now - no sense digging up the past”.

If Israel actually wanted to rid the area of Hamas, I think humanitarian aid and taking care of the people might have been more persuasive than bombing their families out of existence.

I know for many it was a nightmare, but as an introvert it was amazing. I was an “essential worker” so I still had to go into work a few days a week, but the office was most empty and wfh was amazing. Oh and the no traffic thing was chefs kiss.

When companies decided that COVID was costing them too much in profits, and workers couldn’t be micro-managed from home or on a rotating office schedule, is when things went to shit.

Asking your supporters to engage in voter intimidation for the next election when you’ve been charged, and will be tried shortly, for leading an insurrection after the last election seems like a great game plan. /s

I can’t imagine being this guys lawyer. You must either be eating a handful of Tums every night, or your just as loony as him and actually don’t see how everything he says and does it toxic to himself and everyone in his orbit.
